I think you have made a good point, although this is not exactly what
you meant.

\cresc, \endcresc     = cresc.- - - - 
\decresc, \enddecresc = decresc.- - - 
\dim, \enddim         = dim.- - - 

\crescmark, \endcrescmark = < 
\dimmark | \decrescmark, \enddimmark | \enddecrescmark = >

I don't like \crescmark too much either, but IMHO something or this sort
is a lot more logical and intuitive than what is being done now.

\cpin, \endcpin?  \dpin, \enddpin?  The fact that "<" can be seen as a
letter C doesn't hurt.  Any better ideas?  daveA
